Military Police lethal weapon allowance inconsistency

Post by quarantinetimer » 08 Nov 2015, 05:34

Bug Description:
Inconsistency between rules and wiki : Rules say that marines cannot have lethal weapons unless the ship is being boarded. Wiki says that "You are not allowed to carry any lethal weapons other than one sidearm unless xenomorphs have boarded the Sulaco." which means that the mps are allowed to carry a lethal sidearm even in non-boarding scenario. I adminhelped and the admin told me to post it as a bug, in case some of you want to complain that this is not a bug. Initial admin notified :Ordukai

Steps to reproduce:
1.Open this link to the wiki wiki/Military_Police
2.Look at rules
3.See the difference

I don't see how that's relevant? He was just pointing out an inconsistency.

Well suppose it depends on how you view the inconsistency, personally believe that's misphrasing somewhat between the two which should be clarified quickly. It's likely they're not suppose to carry anything heavier for lethals initially outside that pistol side arm, until confirmation they've been boarded. Even then they probably are to avoid using lethals if they can help it outside of boarding actions.

Either way, can tell how that gets quite confusing for several when glancing between the two rules. It should be clarified and rephrased to no contradict itself, making things somewhat easier to understand for those filling it's role ICly.

I think though, that in this case, I'd take the actual rules on the forum over the wiki, because the wiki seems to get a lot less attention than the forums do.
